Reevaluating Hypothermia Rescue Protocols
This chapter reviews a study on mountain rescue casualties suffering from mild hypothermia, emphasizing the outcomes based on whether individuals were stationary or mobile. It examines environmental factors, such as wind and rain, that exacerbate hypothermia in the UK’s temperate maritime climate and discusses the implications for rescue operations. The findings challenge existing rescue guidelines by suggesting that safely evacuating hypothermic patients through ambulation may be feasible, prompting a re-evaluation of current practices.
